In a reader’s words: “A powerful book for me because it explains Christopher’s style of counseling through Laurel’s story. I was able to relate to Laurel’s raw emotions and become even more in touch with mine. I feel less alone in this process. This style of therapy has allowed me to delve deeply into my emotions and heal the past so I can move on to a more fulfilling future. This is a testimony to the power of feelings and the importance of having someone who recognizes the deepest parts of you, to find them in yourself and begin to heal. Thank you Laurel for having the courage to tell this story in print so that I can experience someone else’s healing.”
